This is an ugly race. Lots of debris on the track, lots of body damage on the cars, and a lot aggressive driving.




I'm loving it.

More of the curse. The commentators said they had just interviewed Donahue. I like the way he slid that pylon across the pavement.

Max Pappas is fun to watch. Fearless, but not an idiot.

Running on a bit of a delay, hilarious to hear Jamie McMurray say they wish they could let people know when it wasn't Montoya driving ...
